About Dd No Ii-1

The primary purpose of Dd No Ii-1 is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Mill Creek Wd No 98 (local government). It impounds the Mill Creek-tr.

The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 1,754 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 21 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 763 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 2006, the structure is relatively new.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 04/30/2008. That was over 18 years ago.
